HC Deb 03 May 1888 vol 325 cc1215-6
MR. LEAHY (Kildare, S.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he is aware the training of the Tyrone Militia will begin on the 6th of June, and last for 27 days; and, whether Colonel L. M. Buchanan and Major R. A. Miller of that regiment are also respectively Clerk of the Peace and Registrar of the County Court, which will be sitting at Dungannon on the 19th of June, Strabane 26th of June, Clogher 29th of June, Omagh 2nd of July, and how do they propose discharging their civil duties for three Divisions of the county, and also attend to their military responsibility during the time of training?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

, in reply, said, he understood that on this occasion Colonel Buchanan would exercise his statutory right of getting his duties discharged by deputy. Major Miller purposed to apply for military leave for a few days, on the ground that his duties as Registrar would clash with his regimental duties.
